De Vrij eyes Lazio extension despite Liverpool links

Netherlands defender Stefan de Vrij is in talks over signing a new contract with Serie A high-flyers Lazio.

Reportedly a transfer target for Manchester United and Liverpool, De Vrij has been in excellent form for Simone Inzaghi's men this season.

The 25-year-old centre-back played 90 minutes as Lazio secured a dramatic 2-1 win at Juventus on Saturday, a result that moves them level with the reigning Serie A champions, five points behind leaders Napoli.

Speaking after the match, De Vrij told the Lazio Channel that a move away from Rome was not on his agenda.
